TOWARDS EXPLORING INDIGENES/SETTLERS CRISIS IN SOUTHERN TARABA STATE, NIGERIAAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This paper on, “Towards Exploring Indigenes/Settlers Crisis in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria”
aimed at analyzing the factors that trigger divides among people in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. The study
relied on secondary sources of data collection (books, journal articles, monographs, internet materials among
others) which was analyzed qualitatively. It also used Marxist conflict theory, as its framework of analysis.
Again, findings reveal that economic, religious and political factors trigger the indigenes/settlers crisis in
Southern Taraba State. The crisis has impacted negatively on lives, property as well as social co-existence
among the people. Government has made use of both hard and soft measures in addressing the indigenes/settlers
crisis in the Southern Taraba State. Regrettably, none of the measures has been able to abate the
indigenes/settlers crisis in Southern Taraba State. The paper, therefore, suggests the replacement of certificates
of origin with certificate of citizenship, strengthening of Nigeria Police Force, as well as employment
opportunities for the teaming youths as panacea for the indigenes/settlers crisis in Southern Taraba State,
Nigeria.
Cultural-pluralism: implications for national integration and socio-economic ...Premier Publishers
The process by which nation states are created makes them to be a conglomerate of various ethnic groups or sub-nationalities. These groups, as it were, surrender some of their sovereignty to the new state with the central objective of providing security and welfare for the people. This derives perhaps from the notion that things are better achieved within a cooperative environment. The state therefore strives to create a peaceful and conducive environment to enable it attain its objectives of sustainable development using appropriate structures. The state also ensures that its various segments live in harmony in their day-to-day interactions by establishing a consensus on norms, values and ethics of engagement. This leads to forging a ‘homogeneous’ culture which further engenders peaceful co-existence and socio-economic development of the country/state. However one cannot say this about Nigeria where ethnic rivalry has continued to undermine her developmental efforts. This paper examines the plural nature of Nigeria and concludes that rather than be an asset, the country’s cultural pluralism is a draw-back to its development. Means of harmonious co-existence geared towards national socio-economic development are suggested.

Impact of Land Dispute on Economic Well Being of Conflicting Communities in A...YogeshIJTSRD
The study is focused on the impact of land dispute on the economic well being of conflicting communities in Anambra State. Land is a vital natural resource that hosts and sustains all living things and its economic importance accounts for its use as the base for all economic activities. Dispute over land has a tremendous adverse effect on the economic progress of the disputing communities. The sample size of the study was 530 adult respondents. The respondents were selected through the process of categorising the communities of the study into six social sub groups. Questionnaire guide, Focused Group Discussion FGD and Key Informant Interview KII guides were used as instruments for the collection of quantitative data and qualitative data. The sampling technique was probability sampling procedure, to ensure that relevant individuals were met. Selection of the respondents from each of the population categories was done by proportionate stratified random sampling method. The study showed that any community involved in land dispute is always faced with challenge of backwardness of economic progress. No community with records of land dispute especially when it is violent, ever has provision or prospects of development because whatever will be built is built on land.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
The conflict seems to have been sparked off after several days of a traditional Yoruba festival, the Oro. Traditionally those not involved in the festival are requested to stay off the street. Yoruba people spoke to a BBC reporter and said that the Hausas had not respected this tradition. The Hausas said they had been attacked indiscriminately.
